An email from Tanith Belbin's attorney:
Subject: Tanith Belbin Citizenship: Urgent Update
Date: Tuesday, October 25, 2005 2:14 PM
I am writing to you personally, because you each contacted our office regarding contacting Congress in support of the legislation to help Tanith Belbin receive citizenship in time for the Olympics. Yesterday, Senator Levin of Michigan introduced an amendment to a pending appropriations bill that would enable Tanith to apply for citizenship.
This amendment should come up for a vote on the floor of the Senate today or tomorrow. We are asking Tanith's supporters to contact your senators and urge them to support Senator Levin's EB-1 amendment, which is being offered today or tomorrow on the Senate floor as an amendment to the Labor/HHS Appropriations Bill (HR 3010). In addition, please urge your senator to express his or her support to Senator Levin for sponsoring the amendment and to Senator Specter, who is the head of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The main switchboard number for the Senate is (202) 224 -3121. You also can find the direct contact information for each Senate office on this website: http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm
Thank you again for your support. Fan support has been invaluable in getting the measure farther than we thought possible, and we urge you to forward this to anyone else who might be interested in helping Tanith and Ben represent the United States.
